About Me I
have been in business since 1981, starting at 283 Main St. Hackensack, NJ. I had a furniture store, "Bergen Upholstery
and Furniture Co.". In the showroom, among the furniture settings, I displayed model boats. I
no longer keep a showroom. In December 1999, I moved to my current address where I keep a large data base of models
to be bought and/or sold, model makers, to make or repair a model. I, Stan Sinowitz, was one of the first members of the," Ship Model Society of Northern NJ".
In June 1981, I was elected to be its first Secretary/Treasurer. Over the years I have made many fine models.
Many of you, like me, started making models as a young child. I started from kits and went up to scratch built
plank on frame models such as the one shown on my desk of Albert Strange's 27' Phantom in 1/2" scale. I can no longer
make models because of my disability. I still enjoy being in the modeling community. Below is a picture of me at my office. I am surrounded by models I have
made, a library of books pertaing to model making and yachting. I and my brother still own "Mary Loring" a 39'
10", Wintrop Warner cutter, built by Paul Luke in 1947, We go sailing on her every week, and a few long
weekends, June thru November.
